What Z rated tires are you guys running?

[EssFo]

Over the past two years I tried out a ton of different tire combos.

 

R888

Bridgestone Potenza RFT

NT01

NT555r

MT ET II / 555R combo

MPSS

NT05r

 

I'm down to a permanent six pack now. I run the 4 MPSS 99% of the time, and swap only the rears to an NT05r at the drag strip.

 

The MPSS is by far my favorite. The ONLY thing it didn't do well, was take 4000rpm launches without spinning.

 

They are quiet, ride good, last long, and corner well.

 

THey don't seem to handle 700HP RWD cars all to well either.

I can't imagine.

 

 

 

Of everything I tried, the best traction from a roll (say a 25MPH rolling launch) was the R888.

 

Those tires had too many downsides for me though. They were loud, they picked up EVERY little pebble, and they didn't last at all.

 

Not sure they would be enough to hold that much power on RWD, but maybe worth trying?

I'll probably do some 345/35/18 Mickey ET street II's on a set of welds.

I have p zero Nero and they are loud. Not enjoying them.

Exhaust isn't loud enough.

The Goodyear I have on now can't tame 485 hp. Sadly I'm too cheap to replace them until they wear out. But with the way I drive, that shouldn't take too long. I may try the mpss but I've heard good things about continental tires lately.

I am loving my set of RS3s. Bit louder than other tires I've had. But it is hard to get them to break loose under acceleration when they are hot and through corners you feel your vertebrae start to slide before the tires do.

My car only makes 470 wheel. The 285 wide MPSS don't hook until about 40mph.
